A nice, small lake. The slightly elevated bike path along the eastern shore offers good views of the lake.

A truly beautiful trail that leads slightly elevated along the lakeshore. Unfortunately, there are no-cycling signs at both entrances.

Here you can cycle directly to the beach and refresh yourself in the cool water. Simply wonderful! Don't forget your swimsuit.
